Mission-Based Awards

All graduating CSUCI students are eligible to apply for one or more of these awards during the year of their graduation. These awards are based on the CSUCI mission statement and honor those students who exemplify the values of CSUCI as stated in the mission statement.

Each of the following awards will be granted to one graduate per year, and no student shall be awarded more than one of these awards. The selection committee may also elect to not give an award for a given year.

Students applying for these awards are expected to state how they have exemplified the educational outcomes and approaches outlined in the mission, either through exceptional curricular activity, and/or through extra-curricular activity while a student at CSUCI.

Each year a selection committee will be appointed by the Provost.
